In 1994, 15 ferrets were tested for rabies in Kansas.  All negative.
That's 15 more lives lost for naught.  The total # ferrets tested in
Kansas is 176.  If anyone else has statistics for their state please
e-mail them to me or if you have copies of stats on State PH letterhead
please mail a copy to:  FFS, PO Box 186, Manhattan  KS  66502.  The number
tested and found negative may help in setting quarantines for our beloved
ferrets (Example: 100,000 tested/14 positive may have a positive affect on
Public Health State and/or County Officials).  Don't hold your breath for
the shedding studies.
 
Hugs.  tle
